Between the free throws and the ton of absurdly unforced turnovers it's impressive that we were in the game against a decent team. We're just really, really young out there without Boat.Karma from shooting lights out last year? In any event, you aren't winning many close games shooting like that.
I definitely believe we can do damage in March, but damn, we really need some wins to make sure we get there.
I don't think we're close to that point personally. There are a lot of regular season games left, and the bubble is just terrible every year now.Its beginning to seem like we will need to win the AAC tournament in Hartford to get the bid.
I think we're closer than some on here think. We're not going to have a fantastic record overall. Maybe most importantly, we're not going to have any huge wins. We're an inconsistent team, so we'll almost definitely drop some more games in conference.I don't think we're close to that point personally.

Seems like the discipline and good coaching went with it. From a fundamentals standpoint, this doesn't look like a KO coached team lately.Karma from shooting lights out last year? In any event, you aren't winning many close games shooting like that.
Yeah, I guess it's easy to think that when you've already decided how the rest of the regular season will play out.I think we're closer than some on here think.
Yes.If you can't beat Temple or Yale at home?
Let's be realistic - what big wins do you see for us on the horizon? How many more conference losses do you predict?Yeah, I guess it's easy to think that when you've already decided how the rest of the regular season will play out.

I haven't decided anything, it's just tough to look at what's happened so far - including home losses to Yale and Temple and a lack of a signature win - and feel entirely secure in the idea that we'll make the tournament. I think we're a talented team with a much higher ceiling than we've reached so far, but I think we're still going to have some growing pains going forward and that means more losses. I'd love nothing more than for us to run the table, but a little realism is needed sometimes.
It's hard to know what games will be big wins, because it's dependent on how other teams perform. At Stanford can be a big win if they continue to perform well. At Temple, at SMU, at Cincinnati can also be big wins if those teams play well. Dayton will be a big win if they don't collapse now that they have lost players. Home against SMU and Cincinnati are opportunities.Let's be realistic - what big wins do you see for us on the horizon? How many more conference losses do you predict?

Didn't realise it was that bad. Oof

Yale is in the top 60 of the RPI, and Temple was in the top 40 coming into today. They don't suck, and aren't even bad losses. They're just huge blown opportunities for good wins because we did about 100 things poorly in each game, mostly self inflicted stuff, and still barely lost.
Well they may end up being terrible losses if those two teams go into the tank, but no loss to a top 60 team in the RPI is terrible, no matter where the game is played.Temple and Yale are terrible loses because they are at home.
Its beginning to seem like we will need to win the AAC tournament in Hartford to get the bid.
